Halfway to paradise
or so it seems that way
same as anyone

same as any other day

we seek eternity

in all the things we buy
not top priority
but it sure figures very high


who steals the real world
fooling us all as we go

and who gets to heaven
heaven only knows


when a heart beats, you can see forever
when our time sleeps, you can be forever


meanwhile in cuckoo land
a most delightful place
we look no further than

the nose in front of our face

no wood anywhere

we can only see trees
last train for
material refugees


when a heart beats, you can see forever
when our time sleeps, you can be forever


don't concern yourself
with matters past and future

just put your mind to where they meet
but when a heart beats
fooling us all as we go

who gets to heaven
heaven knows


when a heart beats, you can see forever
when a heart beats, you can be forever


be forever
